A video clip (2min, 15sec) of Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" shot in an alley in London. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is a song written by Bob Dylan originally released on the album Bringing It All Back Home in 1965. It was re-released on numerous other Dylan albums such as Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits. In addition to the song's influence on music, the song was used in what became one of the first "modern" music videos. Although Rolling Stone lists it as the 7th on their list of "100 Top Music Videos"The original "video" was actually a segment from D. A. Pennebaker's film, Don't Look Back (a documentary on Bob Dylan's first tour of England in 1965). In the film, Dylan holds up cue cards for the audience with words from the song on them. While staring at the camera, he flips the cards as the song plays. Interestingly, there are intentional errors throughout the video. For instance, the song's lyrics say "eleven dollar bills," but the poster says "20 dollars". The original video takes place in an alley behind The Savoy Hotel in London where poet Allen Ginsberg makes a cameo.
